Repairing walls
Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 9:23 pm
I need to either repair or replace the drywall in one of my bedrooms. When my son moved out he had destroyed his walls. There is holes all over the walls along with what looks like wax dripping all over the walls.
I am afraid if I try and remove this wax or what ever it is, the walls will be damaged so bad that they won't be able to be patched without looking good. I have no problem patching the holes, but the hole rooms is another story. I was wondering if I could just put new dry wall up over the old or if I should take it all down because of the weight. I wath thinking of using wanscoating on the bottom part and drywall on the top section.
